Description:
JW2 is an engine research and development company whose business model is licensing its technology to engine manufacturers. JW2 patented the design architecture for the first working and demonstratable inwardly opposed piston engine operating by means of a four-stroke combustion cycle. JW2 maintains 8 patent applications and over 6 patents already issued. Significant strategic advantages offered by JW2 include:
1. Proprietary and Patented Technology: the Company has secured valuable and defendable patents to protect its intellectual property.
2. New Engine Design, Resulting in Major Breakthrough and Unprecedented Achievements: weight, size, power, miles per gallon and other advances in the JW2 engine are unprecedented. The total savings associated with the JW2 engine versus a conventional engine is estimated at $1,198 per engine. The JW2 engine provides the same power as a conventional engine, and weighs at least 75% less than a conventional engine.
3. First to Market: the Company believes they will be first to market with a prototype inwardly opposed piston engine running in a vehicle, and first to market with the operational inwardly opposed piston engine sold to automobile manufacturers.
4. Strategic Partnerships: the Company’s strategic partnerships help enforce barriers to entry.
5. High Switching Costs: once accepted by automobile manufacturers, it is unlikely that these manufacturers will move to a competitive engine. Investments in facilities, assembly plants, and logistics to support the JW2 engine will make switching difficult and costly.
